    The new Mitas E07 Adventure tire (tyre)

    What Mitas E-07 combination do you guys think would give me the best grip on the road particullarly for 2 up riding. Looks like I can find the Dakar rear with origonal front or the + rear with the original front. I haven't heard that much about the traction on the plus tire. I really don't do...

    2013 - On my third battery!

    What exactly are you calling a battery failure? Press the start button and it won't turn over? If that's the case, I would do an immiate output check on the alternator, the voltages you mentioned would be good, a voltage check on the battery and a load test on the battery would be next if the...

    2017 ES | Pannier Racks

    SW Motech brackets allow the mounting of many different brands of hard cases and would work well for most soft cases too. I just bought Hepco Becker racks because I got a great deal on them. Edited to add: otherwise I would have bought SW Motech. They allow me to use their hard bags or I think...

    darkside / car tire ????

    I've been trying ride-on. I used beads previously and was ok with them, but I know many dual sport guys that started using the ride on and were having good results. The main benefit is flat protection, but it offers dynamic balancing too. They came by the product on the advice of border patrol...

    Citizenship Renouncing- Caution, this may offend.

    If you are determining what life is like in the US by the news, you are getting a warped sense of the country. I've traveled the world and there is still no place else I'd rather be. In fact the parts of living here that I like the least are the parts where we try to emulate what some of the...

    Pad change

    Maybe you can explain it to me sometime...... I use the HH pads on my Concours and yes, they do wear the rotors a bit, but the braking is much better. It doesn't have ABS. Strangely, I tried a couple of different EBC pads on my DRZ and went back to the OEM. Others ave done the same, but I don't...
